With some tweaking it may still be possible to get this brute force solution to work fast enough, but it's not looking good. I suspect your are running out of physical memory and the system is swapping, how big is the file1.txt and how much physical memory do you have on your system?

You could consider retaining some of the work from previous scans. This really depends on your dataset and leads to the following questions about your data.

How static is it?
I'd assume the zip file contents don't change much, but perhaps you remove old zips and add new ones?

How about the contents of file1.txt is this completely different each night? Are any items searched for searched for again at later dates? (For example if we know the XYZ wasn't in the zips lastnight and it's searched for again, all we need to scan are files added since last night's scan).
